Last week’s Hawaii Coffee Association statewide cupping competition was won by Rusty’s Hawaiian coffee of Ka’u. No surprise there, it’s really outstanding stuff. However, what I did find interesting is that of the top 5 scoring coffees, only 1 is from Kona (4th place). Slots 1, 3 and 5 went to Ka’u farms and Maui’s Kupa’a Farm impressively placed at #2.
